  • Publication number: 20220288340
    Abstract: A medical tube holder comprising a face frame assembly, a strap assembly, a holding assembly and an adapter clip. The face frame assembly has a central member with a base with a first end and a second end, and an attachment rail extending therefrom between the ends. The strap assembly is attachable to the face frame assembly and is configured to extend about the head of a patient so as to secure the face frame assembly. The holding assembly includes a base plate, with an arm extending from a proximal end of the base plate and terminating at a transverse channel. The transverse channel is slidably movable along the attachment rail to attach the holding assembly to the face frame. The adapter clip includes a block member attachable to a medical tube, and, is attached to the holding assembly so as to define a maximum spacing therebetween.

  • Patent number: 9381128
    Abstract: A mobile treatment table including a central support. A first support member is pivotally connected with the central support and operable between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. A second support member is pivotally connected with the central support and includes a handle integral therewith. The second support member is operable between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. A wheel assembly is operably connected with the second support member and operable between an extended position adjacent a first side of the support member and a retracted position adjacent a second side of the support member.

  • Patent number: 8424136
    Abstract: A mobile treatment table having a central support operably connected with a wheel assembly. A support member is pivotally connected with the central support and operable between a vertical position and a horizontal position. At least one support leg is disposed at a distal end of the support member and operable between a deployed position substantially orthogonal to the support member and a non-deployed position substantially parallel with the support member. A handle extends from a proximal end of the support member and forms a portion of the support member when the support member is in the horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 8400108
    Abstract: A battery assembly with a housing that contains a removable battery pack. The housing, which is sterilzable, has a head designed to couple to a power consuming device. The battery pack, which is not sterlizable, contains at least one rechargeable cell. The battery pack has a head dimensioned to fit the same charger socket that can receive a sterlizable battery. The battery pack has contacts that abut charger contacts. The housing has internal contacts. Collectively, the housing and battery pack are shaped so that, when the battery pack seats in the housing, the battery pack contacts abut the housing internal contacts. The housing internal contacts are connected to the housing external contacts for supply power to the power consuming device. A cover selectively holds the battery pack in the housing chamber.
